"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa the bad things don't always spoil the good things and make them unimportant. And we definitely added to his pile of good things."
The above quote is from one of my favorite Doctor Who quote ever and from one of my favorite episodes, 'Vincent and the Doctor'. Basically Amy and the Doctor go visit Vincent Van Gogh, have an adventure, and bring him to the future briefly to show him how famous he will become. But in the end, after they return to the future without him, he has still committed suicide. And then this magical quote happens. And it's just so beautiful. I think a lot lately, I've been forgetting about my pile of good things. So here are a few.
1) When it's raining sometimes and puddles have formed, just the simply pleasure of watching the water hit the water. It's not like hitting the ground, it's just being absorbed, like the puddle opening up it's arms in a warm hug to the drop, saying come here 'let's make a big, happy, liquid family!' And there's just the knowing, knowing that summer is coming and with it come one of my favorite forms of weather ever, the summer thunderstorm.
2) That I have really nice coworkers. Because even if I don't have the bond with them like I do with the people at my old workplace, they still care, or at least seem to. At least they listen when I have problems, at least they are nice to me. I can't imagine ever working in a place where I disliked all of my coworkers. It would be horrible, and for not having that, I am thankful.
3) That I have good friends, both online and in real life. Sometimes I like to pretend I'm the loneliest girl in the universe, and really it does feel that way sometimes. But I do have people who care for me, people who may o may not physically be there, but who are there. Do you understand what I mean? I don't have to see someone to know they are there and they care for me, some of the people I'm closest to live thousands of miles away.
4) That summer is coming. I do not look forward to the weather, but there are a lot of other things I am looking forward to. There's the upcoming Youtube collab I'm working on, the ample time to work on my writing/drawing/reading/watching ALL THE SHOWS, and the possibility of working in the library. And there's having my own house/apartment (hopefully) and living with my family again. And just knowing that it's summer and I can do things and look forward to the new school year.
5) That hair grows. I am vain in little ways, my hair being one of them. But tomorrow I'm planning on cutting a good majority off. It's just gotten to the point where I get so frustrated with it that I'm basically willing to start over. So the most drastic cut I've gotten in two years. And if I don't like, well, hair grows.
Fin.
